Families of those killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting who sued Jones for defamation want the sale to happen.

They're still waiting to collect on the massive defamation suit they won against Jones after he spread lies that they were faking the deaths of their children.

The families are also eager to take away Jones' platform for spewing those conspiracy theories, and this deal would do that.

If approved, a Texas state receiver could remove Jones from his studio and start licensing InfoWars' domain and brand name to The Onion, but Jones is likely to appeal.
